The King of the Table
Cous Cous

When you think of San Vito Lo Capo, it’s impossible not to mention Sanvitese-style Couscous, a triumphant blend of marine flavors made with the freshest fish, straight from the Capo’s crystal-clear waters. Thanks to the famous Cous Cous Fest, this dish has achieved international acclaim. What started as a simple village festival has transformed into a world-renowned event, attracting chefs and food enthusiasts from every corner of the globe.

Caldo Freddo

Imagine this: gelato, sponge cake soaked in liqueur (or milk), whipped cream, and a cascade of warm chocolate. This delightful dessert, born in the early 1900s in the province of Trapani, has found its spiritual home in San Vito Lo Capo, where it’s now an iconic treat.
